Texas woman who killed cheating husband released after 15 years
GATESVILLE, Texas -- After serving 15 years in prison for her husband's murder, Clara Harris is a free woman.
Harris was released around 8:20 a.m. Friday in Gatesville, about 45 minutes west of Waco.
She smiled as she walked out of the Crain Unit and climbed into a gray Ford SUV.
Harris, a former Friendswood dentist, was convicted in 2003 for running over her husband David Harris at least three times with her Mercedes-Benz outside the Nassau Bay Hilton after finding him there with his mistress.
The act was caught on camera by private investigators hired by Harris. Her stepdaughter was in the vehicle at the time of the killing.
